EDA Survey about Gypsum

The EDA are requesting participation in a survery regarding the use of gypsum products. We've reproduced the details and a link to the survey below:

The GTOG project aims to put in place an integrated approach to manage gypsum construction and demolition waste, starting from the dismantling of a building via the recycling of the gypsum waste and its re-incorporation in the manufacturing process.

Gypsum is indefinitely recyclable because the chemical composition of the raw material in plasterboards and blocks always remains the same.

At the end of the building life, gypsum products can be dismantled, recycled and reincorporated in the manufacturing process.

However, close loop recycling for gypsum products will only happen if:

1. Selective demolition methods are applied systematically for all demolition and renovation projects;
2. Sorting of waste is done at source – thereby avoiding mixed waste;
3. Processing is carried out according to clear standards;
4. Incorporation in the production process is carried out with innovative processes

EDA cooperates with the project as the final results will affect directly the industry and every demolition jobsite.

For this reason, we ask our members and the industry in general to participate on a global survey about the gypsum on the demolition industry.

To participate, just download the document (available in three languages) and share your experiences:
